Abstract
A computer system. The computer system includes a communication unit to receive power to perform communication with an external apparatus; and a controller to check whether at least one program to make the communication unit perform the communication is executing, and controls the communication unit to decrease consumption of power by the communication unit if the executing program is not a pre-set program.
Claims21
A computer system comprising:
- a communication unit to receive power to perform communication with an external apparatus;
- and
- a controller to check whether at least one program to make the communication unit perform the communication is executing, and to control the communication unit to decrease consumption of power by the communication unit if the executing program is not a pre-set program.
A control method of a computer system comprising a communication unit to receives power to perform communication with an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- checking whether at least one program to make the communication unit perform the communication is executing based on a pre-set program;
- and
- controlling the communication unit to decrease consumption of the power by the communication unit if the executing program is not the pre-set program.
A computer system comprising:
- a communication unit to receive an power to perform communication with an external apparatus;
- and
- a controller to check whether at least one web page is transmitted according to the communication performed by the communication unit, and to control the communication unit to decrease consumption of the power by the communication unit if the transmitted web page is not a pre-set web page.
A control method of a computer system comprising a communication unit to receive power to perform communication with an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- checking whether at least one web page is transmitted according to a communication performed by the communication unit based on a pre-set web page;
- and
- controlling the communication unit to decrease consumption of the power by the communication unit if the transmitted web page is not the pre-set web page.
A computer comprising:
- a communication unit to communicate with an external apparatus via a network;
- and
- a control unit to determine whether operation of the communication unit is necessary and to control the communication unit to operate normally or to operate at decreased power consumption depending on the result of the determination.
A method of controlling power consumption of a communication unit, the method comprising:
- determining if a pre-set communication program is executing and/or a pre-set web page is being accessed;
- and
- decreasing the supply of power to a communication unit if the pre-set communication program is not executing or the pre-set web page is not being accessed.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
